According to Historians, Moncada was formerly a part of Paniqui, a neighboring town.

On the year 1860, four family heads from Magaspac, a barrio of Gerona, namely Don Juan Sagun, Don Pedro Sapon, Don Victoriano Avillanoza and Don Agustin Germina left Barrio Magaspac together with their families to seek for a greener place and to escape the ire of a Spanish curate stationed in Gerona.

After several days of traveling northward, those families reach Sitio Caarosipan . a part of Paniqui. There they built their temporary homes and started clearing and cleaning the place but they discovered that during rainy season, the place got flooded so again they moved out and looked for a higher ground and later settled in Sitio Payacan which was then the name of Barrio Capaoayan and they were convinced of the fertility of the soil and the favorable elevation of the surrounding and they decided to settle right there instead of other place.

From that time, these settlers lost no time in enticing other probable settlers and within a period of time, came groups of immigrants from other places, a big number of which name from Paoay , Ilocos Norte. So, after several years, the settlement rose and grew to a big number of families which was made into a small community.

In view of the increasing number of new settlers, the authorities of Paniqui of which Payacan was then a part, thought of making the Sitio into a barrio in the person of Don Antonio Longa, who hold the position up to 1862.

Because of the fertility of the land as well as the bountiful blessings showered upon them by the Almighty , in thanksgiving , they changed the name of their newly created barrio from Payacan to San Ramon in honor of the venerated patron saint of the place , Saint Raymund Nonnatus to whom the rendered special devotion .

As San Ramon showed signs of advancement and progress, people of all different dialects from other places came to reside and tried their luck, one of whom was a Christian Chinese merchant who was industrious and thrifty, who soon emerged as one of the most prosperous landowner and pivotal entity in the barrio.

His influence to the residents gained headway with his material prosperity. He initiated and stirred the interest and imagination of the civic –minded citizens to work with him for the conversion of San Ramon into independent municipality, but unfortunately, this man died without realizing his dream project for the place. Nevertheless, The spirit behind the movement and project did not die with him, because his adopted son by the name of Vicente Tintiangco, also a full blooded Chinese continued with equal vigor and determination the succeeding phases of the project.

So, through his persistence and untiring efforts, San Ramon was made a full-fledged municipality by virtue of a proclamation by the Spanish Military Governor of Tarlac province. This historic event took place on July 1, 1875, thus the new born municipality was named MONCADA in honor of an influential nobility of Spain.

Another legend worth knowing is how and why MONCADA was the given name. They said that it came about when a group of settlers were so engrossed in their work one day when Spanish soldiers came near them and silently observed their works , stared at them from head to foot and tried to analyze what they are doing. These settlers were planting tobacco seedlings. The workers who had sturdy looks and burnt complexion just went on with their works.

The Spanish soldiers asked what the name of their town in Spanish Language is and the workers thought they were asking what they are planting and so one answered “Muskada” which means tobacco. It is the question of miscommunication that the Spanish soldier thought “Muskada” was the name of the town thus from then on; people came to know the place by such name. But the word seem hard to pronounce soothe folks finally had the name MONCADA.
